Real and False Modesty.

1t would be well if young women
were taught early in life that there is
false shame and an airectation of
modesty as unlovely as forwardness and
which repels as effectively as brazeness.
To be on the Qui Uive for inuendoes, to
have smart faculty for extracting the
bitters of evil from any good. is all
wrong and all immodest. To see where
| harm is not intended is immodest. The
young woman who thought she would
die of shame because some gentleman
came into the gallery where she was
alone with the statue of the Venus OF
Milo. who fell into confusion and blush
ed nightly, advertised modesty that
was possibly only skin deep A blush
is something sacred TO pure woman
hood, and it is a sad spectacle for
thoughtful eyes TO note a young woman
so far gone in the improprietes that
/ she pretends 10 be shocked at things
which simple, unaffected candor. is far
! from thinking on at all There are
I
ladies who manage to convey by sub
! tile insinuations that they are deeply
consc Gus of scenes which really mod
est W oman would ignore. 1t is true,
| in deed. rs n great writer has said. that
modest woman must be ut times both
deaf and blind. Disagreeable happenings.
offensive 10 ewes and ears, are at mes
Incidental to almost every ones life.
The most sheltered young lady can not
be entirely protected. She may find
herself in places where profane Ian
guage reaches her ears, where obiec-
tionable sights reach her eyes. 1t ID
then the time for her modesty to take
on an armor of dignity; it is the time
/ for her to be both deaf and blind.
There are many things in life that
young woman ought TO know of, and
which, if they d d know. they would
regard rs great, solemn truths, too sa-
cred TO be giggled over and simpered
at; which are not proper subjects for
conversation, but which none the less
exist. and should be well comprehend
ed. For a young woman-or young
man. cither-there is no safety in ig-
norance. The mother assumes un-
warranted responsibility who leaves her
innocent growing girls and boys TO be
educated in the mysteries of life by
unthinking outsiders. Constant rub
| hing cannot wear off the delicate hue
of the seashell. nor can the real purity
of mind, the real modesty of refined
womanhood, be more easily worn
away Mock modesty is twin sister to
that cancer hearted virtue which con-
ssts in not being found out. Persons
who affect it are social suspects. "
Beware of it young woman. because it
dece YES no one, and because if you do
not young men who are in search OF
/ lovely wives will beware of you. -

Ex-senator Stephen W. Dorsey ia q
splendid portrait Of the American JOB
politician. He got by land grabbing Star
route iobbing. and other crooked paths
to be prince Of a domain in New Mexico
one hundred miles long and fifty wide.
Attention was called TO Prince Dorsey
when he was forced TO take down fifty
miles Of unlawful fencing, since which
time his territorial principally has lost
its fair proportions, but he still retains
a comfortable homestead, and he IA dis
posed TO defend with some yigor the in
terests Of humble settlers like himself
against the attacks Of a Federal officer
who has directions to sweep OF the hooi
KINGS and their miniOns with Cleyelands
reform broom. In the case Of a little lot
of 6OO.O 900 acres Dorsey suddenly discoy-
cred some years ago that the forged grant
known as the Gina grant would not
work. so he persuaded the Commissioner
of the Land Onice to order the land to be
opened TO settlement, and then with bo-
gus settlers rushed in and took posses
sion. But the order Of the commissioner
was illegal.
Against this and other charges Of
wholesale fraud Mr.. Dorsey brings the
prestige Of his high character TO bear, and
saws that there have been no fraudulent
land entries in New Mexico. Thus we
see that all the land-grab princes arc
united and so it will be necessary for the
reform policy to bag the whole lot.

entitle him to a denomination, his pious
resolve to exterminate the entire gang of
